This is not the fancy wood, I just got lucky with a replacement set.Lyman wrote:I had to read your post a few times. So this is the better replacement wood that Henry sells? And then you refinished it?
I agree with you on wanting to make it your own. Turned out great! Good job!
And yes, I refinished the new wood.
The factory finish hid the character of the wood, so I had to fix that!
Thank you again for the kind words!

Some do some don't, some get lucky and end up with beautiful wood right out of the box.Carver wrote:Nice job on the rifle and stock. I wonder if all the stocks have that kind of grain.
Others have plain straight grain like mine did in the first picture

Re: My customized H001
I was looking through some photos of my Uberti and found this one; some of the Uberti wood is no so hot, but mine isn't too bad for a stained stock right out of the box. Got some character marks on it now too....
But your customized rifle is a beauty for sure.

Re: My customized H001
Thanks! I really like yours as well, such a classic design! There's alot of beauty in the wood on yours! Having done several rifles like this that had a tinted poly finish, the Tru-oil really "wakes" the wood grain up and makes it pop. Photo's don't do mine justice, there is lots of depth and an almost prismatic look to the wood. It's a very simple process should you ever decide to refinish yours!RanchRoper wrote:I was looking through some photos of my Uberti and found this one; some of the Uberti wood is no so hot, but mine isn't too bad for a stained stock right out of the box.

That looks amazing. The polished receiver is a huge improvement.

Re: My customized H001
I like what you have done to the stock and receiver cover and barrel band. I believe the front sight/tube hanger can also be polished on newer rifles. Older rifles had a plastic front sight.

Re: My customized H001
Thank you sir, this one is an older one but does have the Zamak barrel band and steel front sight. I left the sight alone because I was afraid it would look strange polished, and being blued steel instead of Zamak, it would be hard to get it all to matchSir Henry wrote:I like what you have done to the stock and receiver cover and barrel band.
